Professional Web Designer for WordPress?

A website is very much like an iceberg in that what you see is only a (small) part of the whole, and it’s the part you don’t see that can really hurt you.

A Professional Web Designer spends hundreds of hours to learn

With all the modern technologies, anyone can throw up a website, but that is like saying anyone can paint. Just because you can put paint on a canvas, doesn’t mean you will create a great painting. Creating a great painting (or a great website) will mean hundreds of hours of time and learning.  And that doesn’t address whether you have the aptitude or inclination. Besides, do you want a website that looks thrown up?

Even if you take all that time to create the website (or hire an undertrained or under-experienced web designer to create it for you), you still may not have a website which looks professional, works well or reaches your clients/customers. People who are web savvy can usually tell the difference between a do-it-yourself web site, a website done by a minimally experienced person and one done by a professional. Do you want to invest time, money and energy in a “home-made” looking website?

A Professional Web Designer Understands Content Marketing

You don’t know what you don’t know. This is why I studied web design. Although all web designers are to some extent self-taught (because being a web designer is like dancing on quick-sand – it changes all the time and we need to stay current), having an educational foundation helped me get a cross discipline understanding and foundation so I knew the basics in all web disciplines, and in what areas I needed to stay current.

A professional web designer can create a professional web presence

If your business is important to you, you need to invest in its marketing. A professional web presence tells your clients you are invested in your business, your business growth and future. You are in it for the long haul. Following the recent really hard years, a business needs to look healthy, and a professional website is a good start to that end. Also, since your business website should be the hub and “Rome” to all of your marketing (as in “all roads lead to Rome”), it is the most important reflection of your business.
